The MME is a lightweight drill for excavators 5-10 tons, incorporating many of the same features as the much larger HEM. The MME uses the same aluminum feed system as the man-portable drills. In this way many contractors consider the MME to be their “outside” drill while the man-portable drill is the “inside” drill. Using TEI’s patented drifter technology the MME is an excellent tool for installing micropiles, soil nails, teibacks, rock drilling and the installation of the popular hollow bars.​
